Been thinking if I'd have to do this job again I'd definately not have gone for these cams. I'd have stuck with the standard exhaust cam and the Piper inlet cam.
That would have saved about £1k too.
What use on a road car is peak torque at over 6k rpm? Even then it's less than 170lb ft.
The car might be faster overall than standard but that's just because it continues to make power where the previously power would drop off. Acceleration might be stronger but it's no night and day difference, it just continues further up the rev range.

Is there anything you can do to adjust the peak power band? Weren't you thinking of adjusting something?

you could play around with the timing with the verniers to get the power band kicks in @ lower revs

I guess if any re-mapping is needed a total map from scratch would be needed as well.

But like you said, the ECU would be locked now? So would have to go back to Ecosse? In Scotland. Bummer.

could you just try to access the map? Obviously from there if it's locked/unlocked then you know a bit more what you need to do.

Ecosse will tell you if it is locked... they should let you unlock it as you own it and paid for the map it contains... also the map is useless to anyone else unless they have exactly the same mods. they could use it as a base map though

Took the car home through the scenic route today...it does go quite nicely and it does make a nice sound, you can't go fast discretely though...
It is a bit unruly for everyday use but it is fun once it has some revs on the engine. It's quite good fun and I actually like it again. I do think for sustained hard use an oil cooler would be a wise move. It does run hotter than it did before.
I'm still buying another car though!
